"In shared reading, a learner- or group of
learners-sees the text, observes an expert (usually the teacher) reading it
with fluency and expression, and is invited to read along." -Regie Routman
In my Kindergarten classroom, we do shared reading every day. During this special time, my students sit on our classroom rug and listen to a new or familiar story. As I read a story or poem I am modeling what good readers do. I am demonstrating what I’m thinking, showing them how to figure out new words, helping them to ask questions and make predictions. I also show them how fluent readers sound, help them to make connections, and explain how to read different kinds of texts (fiction and non-fiction).
My students love shared reading because they
get to listen to stories and talk about the text. Though group/partner
discussions, students get to bond with their classmates and improve their
reading comprehension.
